Experience Summer Bliss at JW Marriott Tokyo

JW Marriott Tokyo, located in the vibrant new area of Takanawa Gateway City, unveils a unique summer pop-up experience known as the Kino-bi Room at its exclusive bar 4-0-3. Open from July 1 to August 31, 2026, this seasonal bar is set to enchant guests with a delightful pairing of summer-inspired cocktails and handcrafted desserts.

The Kino-bi Room, inspired by Kyoto's renowned craft gin distillery, Kyoto Distillery, will feature a selection of three exclusive summer cocktails. Designed by executive pastry chef Shigeru Nojima, each cocktail is perfectly complemented by a specially crafted chocolate dessert, creating a luxurious tasting experience in an intimate setting. The bar's serene ambiance welcomes guests to unwind and indulge in these exquisite flavors.

Seasonal Cocktail and Dessert Pairing Highlights

The cocktail menu includes a refreshing twist on classic flavors, incorporating seasonal ingredients such as red shiso, ginger, and wasabi. Here’s a closer look at each pairing:

1. Cocktail: She thought she saw paradise
A vibrant blend of Kino-bi Kyoto Dry Gin, this cocktail features apricot and orange, accented with the delicate bitterness of red shiso. The inclusion of aromatic Darjeeling tea adds a refreshing lightness, reminiscent of a fruity tea.
Dessert Pairing: Bitter Chocolate Tart
A luxurious dark chocolate tart infused with the fragrant Jardin Bleu tea, this treat is complemented by a crunchy chocolate sablé for a delightful texture.

2. Cocktail: Natsugasumi (夏霞)
This gin sling highlights the rich sweetness of Kino TOU Kyoto Old Tom Gin, paired elegantly with the umami notes of yamabushitake mushroom and the freshness of ginger. This cocktail evokes the gentle scents of summer mist, offering a soothing finish.
Dessert Pairing: Milk Chocolate and Caramel Tart
Creamy milk chocolate combined with crunchy chocolate sablé, layered with caramel and salt, brings out a harmonious balance of sweetness and saltiness.

3. Cocktail: Tokyo Modern (東京モダン)
Inspired by the comedic genius of Charlie Chaplin, this cocktail features a mix of Kino Ume Kyoto Plum and Berry Liqueur, accentuated with wasabi and garnished with caramel popcorn and cola, creating a playful and complex flavor profile.
Dessert Pairing: Stone Fruit Chocolate
Dried apricots and plums coated in milk chocolate, teamed with pistachios and almonds for a delightful crunch.

Guests can enjoy these pairings in the Kino-bi Room, but they are also available at JW Bar and JW Lounge. For those who wish to indulge in desserts alone, they are available a la carte as well.
